Crock-pot Ginger Pork Chops…

What would we do without our slow cookers or Crock-pots? If you do have one or do not hardly use the one you have, you are missing out. There are thousands of recipes for the slow cooker. I have two and really could use the three pot slow cooker or the real pretty All-Clad Deluxe Slow Cooker.  
When I was working full time, I used a slow cooker every day. I had a couple cookbooks, but learned the real beauty of one the slow cooker was just taking combinations of ingredients and coming up with new recipes. The recipe for day comes from the 1001 Slow Cooker Recipes cookbook written by Barbara C Jones.
I don’t think experimenting as I was, I would have crossed teriyaki sauce with tomato bisque soup. It works though in combination of the other ingredients to make a wonderful meal. I will sometimes add in sliced apples and a ¼ cup of apple cider. For other variations, you could use garlic or even orange juice.
You just have to be a bit daring and creative, use the recipe as a guidebook instead of a law book.
